The Story in Brief
Assembly speaker Narendra Singh Tomar met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, the third senior BJP leader from Madhya Pradesh to do so in a week. Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and former state party chief V D Sharma had earlier called on the PM. Urban development minister Kailash Vijayvargiya meanwhile met home minister Amit Shah.
The flurry of meetings follows the BJP’s defeat in the Datia by-election, which political experts attribute to lack of coordination among state leaders. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav also met party president J P Nadda and general secretary B L Santosh. The central leadership is expected to take decisions on cabinet expansion and the BJP’s national team soon.
The Indian Opinion
The usual reading in Delhi is that every meeting signals a leadership change in Bhopal. But the BJP routinely calls state leaders to Delhi before a cabinet reshuffle or party reorganisation. The real test is not who met whom but whether the central leadership actually expands the Union council of ministers in the coming weeks, and if any MP faces get a place. That will tell us if this is a course correction or just routine consultation.
